It is to be observed that the 'Dealing sleeve i8 exceeds in dmuotm' the sleeve coupling 24 and the diameter ol' the unvessl joint This permits the sleeve coupling and instrument board,Y -thus faeilitating the semblage oli the coi'itrol 1n the car. lVhen the dial plate ll), which is attached to the bearing,l sleeve 18, is locked in position in the dash, it is turned to the correct position and secured. in place' by a couple o'l screws. The rigid pointerQl is adjustably secured to the knob 2O so that after the device is assembled in the ear the pointer may be loosened and the earbureter needle adjusted to the eorrert position for running` while the murinel is hot` and ivith the.varbureter thus adj usted. and the knob .in the corrert position ior such running, the pointer will be turned to a certain neutral. position near the top of the .dial and then fixed on the knob in this position. user starts the engine he iv'ill take hoid o'l" the knob and know its position by 4the touch and thus be enabled to open it the desired amount for starting and move it back again to its running position. lt will also be observed that the knob and knob shalt are permanently secured in the bearing sleeve. lit is also to be noted that the sleeve rouplings uniting` the upper ser-tion and the intermediate section oi the control shaft, as Well as the coupling uniting the intermediate section to the rear end of the Yforward section7 are heavy substantial 'couplings each secured by' tivo set screws to both shaft ends united by them.

It is Obvious from the foregoing that my invention constructed as above deseril'ied, and as shown, may be installed quickly', and without trouble, and avoids the necessity o'l exact location 'Witlrnrespeot to the instru ment board, havinga fair range oiE location thereoii by virtue of its adjustable parts.

lt is furthermore obvious that while nro- "ridingior desired. and necessary lleKibility, my invention avoids springiness or other characteristics tendingI toward incorrect ad.- justn'ient or/arridental disnlarenient in `the use oi. the car.
